Irena Sendler

There recently was a death of a 98 year-old lady named Irena.
During WW II, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw
Ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an “ulterior
motive” … she KNEW what the Nazis’ plans were for the Jews
(being German.) Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of
the tool box she carried, and she carried in the back of her
truck a burlap sack (for larger kids). She also had a dog in the
back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in
and out of the ghetto. The soldiers, of course, wanted nothing
to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids’/infants’
noises. During her time doing this, she managed to smuggle
out and save 2,500 kids/infants. She was caught and the Nazis
broke both her legs, arms and beat her severely. In a glass jar
buried under a tree in her back yard, Irena kept a record of the
names of all the kids she smuggled out. After the war she tried
to locate any parents who might have survived it and reunited
the family. Most had been gassed. Those kids she helped got
placed in foster family homes or adopted.

Last year Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize ... she was not

selected.

Al Gore won...for a slide show on Global Warming!
